[CQ-Contest] Serial number, contact sending speed

[ktfrog007 at aol.com]

It's like Original Sin.  You are damned by default.  
And it's difficult to be redeemed in a contest environment, especially on a sin by sin (QSO by QSO) basis.

It is just different philosophy Barry. Two way QSO means correct info in 
both logs.

For the duration of a QSO you are partners with the op on the other 
side, responsible for the correct 2 way transfer of information.  How 
would log checkers supposed to know was it his inability to copy or your 
inability to send? And it does not matter if sending is done by the 
computer. There are many other factors that should be taken into account 
like speed, QRM situation, faulty transmitter or just intermittent 
connection to the TX antenna etc. If your temporary, lasting only one 
QSO team failed, you are both guilty and proportion of guilt does not 
matter.
